I'm excited - Dr. Susan Levine is the Infectious Disease specialist I see in NYC, the one who prescribes low-dose naltrexone for me! She's a great choice - she's been specializing in CFS for many years, and, as an Infectious Disease specialist, she is perfectly suited to understand and analyze all the new research done recently and still to come on how infections relate to CFS. I'm not familiar with the other names on the list, but if they're as well-qualified as Dr. Levine, then I'm happy! Anyone else know the other names on the list?

(NOTE: The CFSAC is the CFS Advisory Committee, the overseeing committee for CFS within the US government, working directly with the CDC and NIH. Their next meeting is May 10 in Washington. I submitted testimony to be read at the meeting, but I haven't heard back yet).

I have had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS or CFIDS) since March 2002. My 19-year old and 16-year old sons also have CFS, and my older son also has Lyme disease plus two other tick infections. This blog is about how our family is learning to live with chronic illness, with a focus on living and enjoying our lives in spite of these challenges.
